    • cage (kiosk wayland compositor) with kitty and btop for a nice stat display on the device

    All of it running from a phone with Linux :3

    I used to have Nextcloud on this thing, but I found it to be insanely heavy for what it does and not very useful when I can just chuck files to the web server if I want to share them.















  • That’s really the thing with Steam in general, from a consumer perspective it’s a very good and honest service, it actually adds to the experience of playing games instead of being an annoyance.

    A lot of other stores feel like only shells made around popular titles to promote more stuff and lock people into using them. More launchers won’t solve the monopoly of Steam, you’ll just end up with as many as there are streaming services.

    That’s not the case for GOG and Itch, but there you don’t get the same level of experience.














  • Not really (I wasn’t using Google directly anyway), I think it fills a slightly different niche than search engines.

    It’s good as a fuzzy search for the sum of public knowledge, since it can understand quite complex queries and point you in the right direction, then you can go to regular search engines to find more specific stuff.

    Bing was fun to exploit, but I don’t really see why it’s useful, it tends to always look up information which means it provides less of its own knowledge, I can do the searches myself better than an LM. Maybe it can provide more concise answers than all the SEO crap everywhere, but that can be avoided by searching on specific websites like reddit.
